Christmas Card Sneaky Preview - Mr Lumiukko Hates Christmas: the snowman suicides
It's been a long time since I made some art of my own, let alone posted any on this blog, so I thought I'd swiftly erase the unpleasant memory of my arse (sorry dopp!) with what I spent sunday doing...
I could waffle on pretentiously about how they're a comment on xmas being the loneliest time of the year when depression and suicides soar with the prices of overpackaged food and confectionary but really I just had the idea and decided to run with it. There should be maybe 5 or 6 of them when I'm done, give or take, drip-pen painted with gouache in my usual stylee. No arses or anything.
Oh aye - Lumiukko is wot finnish people (and presumably other finnish snowmen) call snowmen...
6 heckles:
How cool is that bottom one? I really did a cheesey grin at that one. You always make me smile Dem. Lovely work and absolutely charmingxx
cool...no pun intended, just my sort of thing :)
i really loved the bunny suicides that got published too :)
oh, and stuff like the gashlycrumb tinies too.
stuff of this nature makes my day.
great stuff
It's like the goldfish in a bowl who has a helium balloon tied around his tummy and a little note saying 'Goodbye cruel world'
You are so clever Dem.
The goldfish/helium idea sounds a lot cleverer than any of mine! Anyway, thanks to both of you for your enthusiasm and all that. It's a bit too late for this year now but maybe you'll fork out for a set of these next year?
Anyroad, cheers!
i dunno, the fish thing....where the hell does a fish get a balloon, let alone a tank of helium to inflate it...
or string...
having said that, i've seen the item, and it is funny.
come on then, it's been a whole day ! where's the next of these six pics???
:)
pushy am i not?
Pushy indeed. Whereas I am just slack. I haven't got anything done this week with no real excuse whatsoever but I will stick something up here in a bit...
